Nottinghamshire Police discovered a large-scale cannabis farm during a raid on a house in Gedling. The operation involved 330 plants and is estimated to have produced a significant amount of illegal profit.
Officers from Nottinghamshire Police's Gedling neighbourhood policing team executed a raid at a property on Duncroft Avenue in Gedling at 7:40 am on Wednesday, January 29. During the search, they uncovered a large-scale cannabis cultivation operation consisting of 330 plants at various stages of growth. The plants were distributed throughout the house, ranging from seedlings to mature, harvestable plants and a portion that had already been cut for drying.
Police are currently investigating the incident and estimate that the illegal operation could have generated a substantial amount of profit. Police Constable Mark Szeremeta of the neighbourhood policing team stated: 'This was a large grow which would have made a substantial amount of money to the people behind it. “We know they are a magnet for further crime and create a very real fire hazard for neighbouring families. Whenever we discover grows of this nature we also carry out further inquiries with the owner or landlord of the property. 'We will not hesitate to prosecute anyone we discover has been allowing their property to be used as a drugs factory. All of the equipment used to power the grow will now be dismantled. “If you have any information about a grow in operation where you live, please let us know so we can take positive action. Our investigation to find those responsible for this grow continues, and if you have any information which could help us please call 101, quoting incident number 81 of 29 January 2025.
